We help toddlers do things all by themselves, such as serving themselves a snack.

Language development is key component of our Montessori program. It starts with learning the names of things for infants and toddlers ...

... and leads to elementary students who write stories in neat, cursive handwriting.

Our multi-age Montessori classrooms and our small elementary school community encourage students to develop social skills and make friends outside of a narrow peer group.

Beautiful, scientifically selected materials make it possible for preschoolers to work with arithmetic into the thousands.

Our regular field trips take students out into the world.

Science is about the world, not words. Students first observe, then draw conclusions and integrate their knowledge into meaningful concepts.

In Grades 1-3, children choose their work and work places. They are fully engaged, feel empowered, and learn advanced materials with ease.

Literature and drama engage young minds, and help them discover answers to important life questions.

Irvine Preschool and Private School: Infants through Eighth Grade

The Irvine Spectrum campus is conveniently located near the Irvine Spectrum, just minutes off the I5 and I405 merge. Our school is the only Irvine campus to offer programs from infants all the way to eighth grade: It’s the perfect choice if you are looking for a place your child can feel at home at, for many years.

Our program is the most authentic Montessori in the Irvine area: Montessori isn’t trade-marked; thus, programs vary widely in quality, and only authentic Montessori programs such as ours deliver the outstanding results Montessori is known for. For the upper grades, our unique Knowledge for Life curriculum combines rigorous, advanced academics with joyful learning, so you don’t have to choose one or the other.

We currently occupy one two-story building in the Technology Park office park, surrounded by four different play areas, with plenty of space of children to run and be active. We’ll be adding a second building by Fall 2014, to accommodate the strong demand for our programs, and to be able to offer a Spanish immersion option for infants, toddlers and preschool/kindergarten.

While we admitted very few outside families this year except for infants, with the opening of our new campus we’ll be able to welcome many new children ages infant through elementary in Fall 2014. Tour and waitlist now, and you’ll have an excellent chance of gaining admittance. Start the process by completing the form on the right.
